What To Do If You Have a Wardrobe Malfunction

Most Read

It happens to the best of us, and celebrities are no exception. Last night at the Emmy Awards, our beloved Sofia Vergara gave her fans a peep show 20 minutes before her show "Modern Family" snatched the award for Outstanding Comedy. Her beautiful aquamarine sequined dress ripped right down her rear. Oops!

In the event of an embarrassing mishap like Sofia's—although she didn't seem too embarrassed when she tweeted a picture showing the rip and exposing her shapely culo, with this message: "Yes!!!! This happened 20 min before we won!!!! Jajajajja. I luv my life!!!!"—Here are a few ways to make light of the situation.

Freaking out will only make you more nervous. You need to think on your feet to figure out how to fix it ASAP.

2. Ask for help

Don't go trying to fix the thing yourself. If a dress rips down your rear, you could end up tearing it more or missing a stich if you try to patch it up yourself…and then you'll practically be wearing your panties to your event ! And no, we wouldn't recommend that.

3. Make sure you always pack a "just in case" kit

I always keep fashion tape on hand, because my little girls tend to wander sometimes, so the tape helps keep them in line! I had a little Janet Jackson type of accident of my own once on the dance floor, so I learned my lesson!

4. Laugh about it the next day

Losing your top at the beach is never funny when it happens, but when you remember it the next day or a few hours later, it's a good story to dish about over drinks with friends. Cop Sofia's cool attitude and tweet about it and laugh. Most girls wouldn't post a pic, but I'm sure it put her in a better mood!
